What do you call a login banner?
You can customize /etc/motd (or create one if doesnt exist...)

Thanx alot. I created the /etc/motd file and placed my banner there and it worked.
Is there a way of setting a different banner for a particular system user???

modify the users .profile to call a banner you have put in /etc:
cat /etc/<yourcustumbanner> in the .profile is the easiest
